Decentralized Storage

Decentralized storage is the core of DÆTA, transforming how data is securely stored and accessed in the digital world.

Decentralized storage is the foundational principle of DÆTA, revolutionizing how data is stored and accessed in the digital age.

Key Characteristics

Distribution

Data split across multiple nodes.

Eliminates single points of failure.

Redundancy

Multiple copies stored on different nodes.

Ensures high data availability.

Encryption

End-to-end encryption of all data.

Enhances privacy and security.

Peer-to-Peer

Direct node-to-node communication.

Reduces latency and improves efficiency.

How It Works

File Upload

graph TD
  A[User] -->|Uploads file| B(DÆTA Client)
  B -->|Encrypts| C{Split into Shards}
  C -->|Shard 1| D[Node 1]
  C -->|Shard 2| E[Node 2]
  C -->|Shard 3| F[Node 3]
  C -->|Shard N| G[Node N]

File Retrival

graph TD
  A[User] -->|Requests file| B(DÆTA Client)
  B -->|Locates shards| C{Retrieve Shards}
  C -->|Shard 1| D[Node 1]
  C -->|Shard 2| E[Node 2]
  C -->|Shard 3| F[Node 3]
  C -->|Shard N| G[Node N]
  C -->|Reassemble & Decrypt| H[Complete File]
  H -->|Deliver| A

Comparison with Traditional Storage

Control

Centralized Storage: Single entity.

DÆTA Decentralized Storage: Distributed network.

Security

Centralized Storage: Vulnerable to targeted attacks.

DÆTA Decentralized Storage: Resilient due to distribution.

Privacy

Centralized Storage: Provider has access to data.

DÆTA Decentralized Storage: Zero-knowledge architecture.

Scalability

Centralized Storage: Limited by infrastructure.

DÆTA Decentralized Storage: Scales with network growth.

Cost

Centralized Storage: High maintenance costs.

DÆTA Decentralized Storage: Utilizes existing resources.
